Currently, MDR Explorer seems to label all the repositories as "MDRepository." However, it would be better if it used the display name of the repository file. For example, the default repository should be labeled as something like "Default Repository", and my SMN repository should be labeled "SMN Metadata Cache" since that is the localized name I chose for the file. If no localized name for the file is given, then the regular (non-localized) name of the file should be given. Alternatively, if you don't want to have such a low-level dependency on the default repository implementation, then perhaps you could use the repositories name as used by MDRManager.getRepository(String name). The bad thing about this name though is that it isn't really localizable. I'd attempt to patch this myself but I'm not sure about the best way to do it? Maybe the same way as the mechanism used for the display names of the extents themselves?
I am closing all reports in category Java/Unsupported as wontfix. These should be dead issues --- if the reported cases are against some live part of the NetBeans IDE please reopen and we can discuss to which category they belong.
